1. Introduction
The GS-7305/GS-7308 Gigabit Ethernet Switches are
designed for small office, home office (SOHO) applications.
They have five or eight 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-negotiation
Ethernet ports, support auto MDI/MDIX and
store-and-forward functionality to ensure proper packet
forwarding. Plug and Play functionality makes setup
hassle-free. In addition, each switch supports MAC address
auto-learning and aging.
1.1 Switch Features
Complies with IEEE802.3 10 Base-T, IEEE802.3u
100 Base-TX, IEEE802.3u 1000 Base-TX,
IEEE802.3ab Fast Ethernet standards.
Supports auto-negotiation, auto-detect data
rates, and half and full-duplex modes.
Provides five or eight 10/100/1000Mbps
Auto-sensing RJ-45 ports and supports Auto
MDI/MDI-X.
Supports IEEE802.3x flow control for full-duplex
and Backpressure flow control for Half-duplex.
Supports non-blocking line speed forwarding.
Supports store-and-forward switching.
Supports MAC address auto-learning/aging
function.

1.3 Front and Rear Panel Specifications
The front panel of the GS-7305 and GS-7308 Gigabit Ethernet
Switches include Link/Act indicators and one power indicator.
Please refer to the detailed description of these indicators in
the LED Indicator Specifications section.
The rear panel of the Switch includes five or eight
10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports. The power
port is where you will connect the external power adapter (it
is located on the rear of the switch).
Notice: Only use the included power supply. Using any other
power supply may permanently damage the Switch.

2. Installation
2.1 Before Connecting to the Network
Before connecting the GS-7305/GS-7308 to the network,
please pay attention to the following instructions:
Do not put anything on top of the Switch. Place on a
hard, flat surface.
Power sockets and equipments should be within 5
feet of the Switch.
Check power supply to confirm a safe and secure
connection.
Make sure there is adequate space for proper heat
dissipation and adequate ventilation around the
Switch.
2.2 Connecting to End Nodes
Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the Switch to end
nodes as described below. Switch ports will automatically
adjust to the characteristics (MDI-II/MDI-X, speed, duplex) of
the device to which it is connected.
